Chapter 701: A Story That Belongs to Mortals (Supplement)
Lin Xi knew very well that in Xiahou Yu, he couldn't get more answers.
Or it can be said that in the border, his understanding of miraculous skills has far surpassed that of Xiahou Yu.
Like what was said before.
All Lin Xi needs is a foundation.
Then he will naturally know more.
Let's say he has a properties panel.
Then in the first second, his knowledge of miracle skills was level 1.
And now, it has jumped directly to level 100.
Such a change depends on his own accumulation and heritage.
After all, reality is not a game, and it is impossible to point one skill to level 100, and another skill that is not exactly the same, but related, because there are no points, it has always remained at level 1.
Leaving Xiahou Yu's study, Lin Xi took some guards and began to wander around the city.
Xiahou Mansion is located in the east of Weicheng in Binhai Province.
Closer to the west, there are factories, shipyards and bazaars.
Billowing smoke, rising from afar, obscured half of the sky. The air seemed to be filled with a fiery and pungent smell.
There was a boiling sound in the distance.
A large number of slaves from the West and the New World, as well as cheap laborers, were working in the docks and factories, and their industriousness was exchanged for a meager salary, barely making ends meet. And yet they are eager to stay here, to stay in this bustling city.
When they saw the prosperity of civilization, they didn't want to return to the wild society and continue to drink blood.
Some Westerners dressed in Xia costumes, in the stiff Xia dialect, are trying to fit into this great era.
Judging from their appearance and demeanor, they seem to be more like Xia people than Xia people. Some of the subtle habits of the Xia people are often magnified in them and fall into the eyes of the Xia people, but they look funny again.
They hate their blond or flaxen hair, blue or green eyes, high noses, and white skin.
Some people choose to dye their hair black with dye to make it look as unobtrusive as possible.
Among them, those who are of the same Western race, but have black hair or black eyes, will be extraordinarily arrogant, and use more fluent Xia dialect to announce to their compatriots that their grandfather or great-grandfather is a Xia countryman, and they have pure Xia blood. This elicits envious exclamations or whispered sarcasm.
Woo··· !
Another huge cargo ship has left the port.
At the same time, there were many cheers and blessings.
Silk, porcelain, cloth, handicrafts, some more advanced mechanical creations, etc. It will be shipped to all parts of the world through these cargo ships.
Of course, merchant ships were also armed with privates, who had old-fashioned muskets and cannons.
When someone is reluctant to do business with them, these weapons can be a good way to convince some stubborn locals.
When the ships return, they will be laden with spices, treasures, gold, and jade.
These are the favorites of those big people in the capital.
Lin Xi walked in the grand background of this era, and even the embellishments in it were not at all.
To the east of Weicheng, there are official residences and the residences of some wealthy merchants.
This is not the case in the west and south.
It is not only a lively bazaar, close to the port, but also a slum and a large number of immigrants.
According to the last statistics of the Waicheng Immigration Department.
In Weicheng, there are about 10,000 immigrants from all over the world.
But Lin Xi took a quick look at it and felt that this number was too conservative.
Even so, however, everything seems to be in order.
Dirty sewage, chaotic slums, gray areas hiding in corners... All of this is in harmony and polarization with the wealth and peace of the eastern part of the city.
The people here, whether they are from the Xia country or from other places.
They all seem to be content with the status quo.
No one's face bears the mark of wanting to change, or wanting to destroy. Some are just cautious expectations and longings.
Maybe there are some inappropriate ambitions in my heart.
However, ambitions that cannot be declared in the mouth and face will eventually be annihilated in the heart.
Xiahou Mingde was right! He chose to spread his danger and terror farther away. Because in the Xia Kingdom, it is difficult for him to get what he wants, and the people here have been domesticated, even if they are outsiders... Their hearts are pinned on a higher mystery... Maybe it's the emperor of the Xia Kingdom, or maybe it's another big noble. Lin Xi sorted out all the information he had heard at the moment, and then concluded his conclusions.
He heard a lot of stories about the world.
Those are very small and inconspicuous.
It doesn't seem to be of much value.
However, it is these humble stories that make up a complete and familiar world.
Everyone's story can become a book, with the same ups and downs.
It's just that there aren't many people willing to listen.
People just need the stories of successful people, or the stories written by successful people.
Lin Xi was also thinking about his own story.
No matter how great an achievement, it starts from the smallest place.
He just wants to master the highest mystery and gain the prestige of a saint, but he still has to follow the basic rules of this world, and then take it one step at a time.
If you don't follow the rules, you won't be able to enjoy the 'fruits' brought by the rules, and this is a truth that all wise people should understand.
"The joys and tragedies of the world will always be the same. Find a common denominator and you can resonate. ”
"I don't have to be confined to the Xiahou family's strange skills, even if... How to obtain the particularity of Naye is the ancestor of the Xiahou family, through years of summary and experience, to get it. ”
It seems that a long time ago, Lin Xi did something similar.
But at that time, he did such a thing for another purpose.
"This is a time when wealth and ideas are exploding, at least... For Xia Guo, this is true. ”
"When a life of abundance is attained, people always need more and richer spiritual and cultural pursuits. The progress of industry will also be accompanied by the prosperity of culture. It is only when the essential structure of society comes to a standstill that people's spirits gradually approach the desert. ”
"Ordinary stories are everyone's stories... Dedicated to you. Lin Xi stood on top of the bell tower and stretched out his hand, like his hand, caressing the top of every ordinary person's head.
Then, Lin Xi began to return to Xiahou Mansion.
With Lin Xi's accumulation and cultural literacy, it is not difficult to write a book that resonates.
Focusing on the ordinary, but based on the whole big era, this is a book that is destined to cause a social sensation.
Of course... The premise is that there is enough promotion and publicity.
Otherwise, it may be decades before you become famous.
